I kept the horses out behind the house last night so this morning I lured them in with some grain, caught up Beaver and rode out around the shrinking drop bunch. No new ones. Rode up to see if the pairs I kicked up the lane had made it out. Yup. This afternoon I tookContinue reading “‘Nuther nice one….”

Another pretty day
Not too hot, not too much wind. Bart came this morning and got the butcher steer so fresh beef in a couple weeks. I had a stupid dream this morning that woke me about 4 am so I have been sleepy all day. After dinner (fresh liver and onions and HORSE RADISH!!!) I had aContinue reading “Another pretty day”
Hot!
Got up to 80 or there about, I guess. Not much wind, just a soft breeze. Cindy and I fed the cows, and hauled an old water tank in for her to plant stuff in. Then off to Punkin Center to get her lawn mower checked out for the season. Ate some lunch and thenContinue reading “Hot!”
Nice day
I scurried around this morning and got my chores done then loaded up a few yearlings and hauled them to St Onge to the sale. Of course, they were some of the last ones to sell, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. I sat and wrote down quite a few butcher cows weights.Continue reading “Nice day”
More rain
Got a little this morning. Not a lot, but it all helps. Cindy said it was drizzling and foggy when she left at 4:30. I kept Woody in so I gathered the horses from north of the barn and then rode around the cows. No new calve in the night. Fed some hay to theContinue reading “More rain”
More fun
Got the chores done and then ran over to Punkin Center, horse trailer in tow. I had a flat on the cart so dropped the tire off and met Casey and Rooster for lunch, then we went over to Franks old place and worked some cattle. Mijo is so fat and frisky I can’t hardlyContinue reading “More fun”
Fun
Same old same old around here. Check cows, feed cows, fool around, wrench and make my knuckles bloody…. Went in to Sturgis Sunday after Mass as Cindy was having a party for her mom’s birthday. I shall not mention her age as that would not be gentlemanly. All the kids made it and Cindy’s brotherContinue reading “Fun”
Weather coming in….
Pretty calm out there this morning. Got one calf in the night, early morning. O got the horses in and harnessed the team and fed everything in here around the lots and to where they can get in behind the trees for the wind that is supposed to be coming. Also some rain and maybeContinue reading “Weather coming in….”
Calving
Had a new one this morning and two new ones this evening. I putted around this morning, as the wind was blowing so hard I’d decided to wait and feed in the afternoon, as it was supposed to go down, as the afternoon progressed. Ordered some stuff fro leather work and then went to PunkinContinue reading “Calving”
Feeding
We are officially calving I guess. Got the first one this morning. By the way, Gabe, the 7 year old grandson, took most of these pictures.
